I started off baking a Pillsbury Stars & Stripes Funfetti Cake Mix - my favorite brand for cake - it's really moist because there's a cup of pudding in the mix!
After the cake has COOLED (you'll want to do this completely)...cut it up into four pieces, then crumble it into a bowl. TIP: I cut off the pieces where the cake had browned (sides and bottom), because those pieces didn't crumple very well!
After your bowl looks like the one above, you add about 3/4 of a can of frosting and mix it until the cake is pretty moist and "doughy".
Then, make little cake balls out of the cake and frosting mixture! TIP: use a cookie dough scoop - it'll make your life SO much easier (and it's a great tool to have around when you make cookies!)
Then let the balls chill on wax paper either in the fridge for a few hours, or in the freezer for 15 minutes (don't leave them in for too long, you don't want them to freeze, just to stick together a li'l better!).
When they're done, it's time to coat them in chocolate and decorate! Melt chocolate and adorn with sprinkles, M&M's, maybe a little coconut or nuts!? Whatever your heart desires!
I used a spoon to roll the balls around in chocolate!
And the final product (presentation is everything!)
They were a huge hit! These are a must try for any party or get together - people will be impressed! Enjoy!
